From the moment my son and I drove up, Sude was smiling and so welcoming to us. Her home is an oasis in a very busy city. Each morning she prepared a wonderful Asian or Western breakfast on her garden porch. She asked what we wanted to do and kindly prepared a schedule to match our timeline and interests. Twice she booked reservations at a theatre performance and a dinner river cruise. She suggested a day trip to Thailand's former capital to see ancient ruins and it turned out to be a terrific experience with her as our guide. How very kind she was to us. I can't imagine a more welcoming hostess. Any guest would be lucky to enter her home. We were for sure!
